Easy Installation, little flimsy

I am in the process of getting my basement finished, so since it was pre-drywall, I figured I would use the mounting brackets. They were super easy to put up, and I found that it will make final installation of the speakers very easy. They are not the best made product and the screws it came with are very soft as the heads spun off on a few of them when screwing into a stud. That said, it does what it is supposed to do, although, should be much cheaper.

Easy Installation, Cheap Screws

Straight-forward, simple installation in a new-build home. My only complaint is that the drywall screws provided with the brackets are a bit substandard. All but two of them broke off at the head when screwing them into the studs. Not expensive to replace them, but it did result in an inconvenient trip to the hardware store. House is not complete yet, so not sure how much of a difference these will make vs installing the RC65i speakers without brackets.

OK for New Construction

I used these before the drywall went up. They are just ok...very flimsy, and the screws
that come with them to attach to the wood studs are awful. Use drywall screws or buy
some wood screws to attach to studs.

low value

You'll spend more time installing and adjusting these brackets than the actual speakers. For the price, you get some molded plastic, which seem to be relatively low cost to produce. When installing the machine screws that hold the brackets together, strip and loosen easily, then when you screw in the drywall style screws to the studs, the bracket gets pulled out of level or square, as the screw drifts in the wood. The screws that came with it, will break off w/ minimal torque, so discard those and use drywall screws. If the whole bracket and side wings were molded one piece, it would be better. I liked the PB85 style better. Installing the bracket before drywall will cause you to have to cut and line up the drywall hole precisely with the bracket, but if you skip the bracket and cut the hole in the drywall later, then the hole position is less critical. I also installed a pair of RC65i without brackets in existing drywall, and cut the hole in the same amount of time as installing brackets elsewhere.
